    Rice Crop Manager and RiceAdvice are two decision support tools that were developed by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice) for rice crop management. The web based tool (Rice Crop Manager) and the android application (RiceAdvice) both aim at providing smallholder rice-farmers with timely field specific guidelines for crop and nutrient management practices. The tools provide information at the start of the season and for in-season practices such as weeding and fertilizer application. The guidelines are generated each new season, in order to remain as accurate as possible. Rice Crop Manager is a free decision-making tool accessible through the web browser for Windows, Android and Linux. It can be used on a smartphone, tablet or computer. RiceAdvice is a free application for Android and an Android-based smartphone or tablet is needed for its use.
